Our Take

Plan around the field

The honest take

What we’d tell a couple planning a wedding here.

Sowell Farms is what couples who want a real farm wedding (without the bachelorette-party-shed-with-fairy-lights aesthetic) end up booking. The barn is genuinely beautiful, the field is genuinely a working pasture, and the open western sky means every wedding here ends with a 20-minute golden hour window that does most of our work for us.

A real wedding here

The field portraits at golden hour were beyond anything we imagined. Shawn knew exactly where to put us and when to move — and the result was a gallery we're still sharing with everyone we know.

Planning notes

Four things we wish every couple knew before booking.

Timing
Move the ceremony 15 minutes later than your planner suggests — the field portraits 20 minutes after vows are the best images of the whole day.
Light
Open western sky, no tree cover at the field. Strong sun until ~45 min before sunset, then perfect. The barn is darker than it looks; we plan for both.
Layout
It's a working farm. Heels are a problem. Mention this to your bridesmaids before they're walking through 200 yards of grass in stilettos.
Where to put us
We split — one of us in the barn for getting-ready, one outside scouting the field. Tell us where your first look is happening.
